Ape call
adventure climbing! great route! the crux is sketchy and thin and the roof is airy and awesome! yes, loose blocks in the roof but there are plenty of other holds up there. Be sure to check out the view of the Nears & Millbrook from under the roof, nice perspective. Yay! Followed Scott.

loose blocks. heavy rain just before, I had to hang and put extra gears. It was a big roof to pull at the crux.

Tricky face
Sure wouldn't want to lead this one! Although I figured it out, it wouldn't be fun to do it on lead. Rest of the climb was great.

A little of everything
Some thin slab, a blocky corner and an overhang. A great big overhang. If you do the feet right, you can get over the overhang with little birdy arms like mine. Ironically, I got over the overhang clean, but slipped and fell on the thin slab section, when usually I am better at those than overhangs. Gotta' call it a hangdog, though. for the one fall.
